Should any such behaviour be exhibited the Franschhoek Wine Tram reserves its right to suspend or withdraw its services. All vehicles are fitted with CCTV and monitored throughout the service.

The staff were helpful, professional, and kind. The scenery on the route was lovely and we enjoyed every wine farm/estate we visited. We had a bouncy 4-year-old with us and were a little bit concerned he wouldn't be fully accommodated, but all went well. The only thing we'd change would be that we'd start our trip earlier in the day to ensure we have time to stop at all the wine farms! - Gideon
What a wonderful way to experience the vineyards at Franschhoek! We thoroughly enjoyed it but wished we had more time to spend enjoying the area. - Liz
I would highly recommend using this service. The staff in particular are so warm and welcoming. They left a lasting impression for all of us. The only disappointment was at the wine farms themselves. In a party of 6 there were generally no non-alcoholic drink options at all, with the exception of water and coke. I could not even order a coffee when sitting at the table with my friends. Other than that, the tram / bus experience itself was 10/10. - Astrid
We had a fabulous experience with the Wine Tram. It was great to couple the experience with so many kids friendly activities, so everybody enjoyed respectively. To maximise on time, i recommend to book the restaurants in advance. The staff are very professional and friendly. Keep it up team! - Shakeel
Great Experience and great explanation on the different vineyards. Would definitely come back again - Paul
